Steve walked into Tony’s lab, bouncing with purpose in his step.
“Tony, I’ve got an idea for Peter’s 11th birthday.”
Tony sighed. He knew what the idea was - it didn’t take a genius
to figure it out, especially when his husband was decked from head to toe in
wizard gear. “It wouldn’t have anything to do with the fact that you’ve just
read through fiction of the 90’s and devoured all the Harry Potter books in a
week would it?” Tony was going to blast whoever taught Steve how to use eBay
with his repulsors the next time they’re in battle.
Steve’s excitement crumbled. “But Tony-“
“No.”
“Tony it would be really cute-“
“No Steve.”
“Tony-“
“Steve, do you know
how many kids crack their skulls every single year from running into a brick
barrier at Kings Cross in London? Hundreds. I’m not going to let me son fall
into the delusion that ‘Hogwarts is real’.”
Don’t look at him don’t look at
him he’s got those puppy dog eyes…
Steve deflated. “Ok fine then…” He turned around and was about
to leave the lab when Tony spotted the book he was carrying.
“Hey, is that the book you’re holding the one you’re reading
next?” Tony casually walked over to Steve and took the book from him as calmly
as he could.
“Yeah, Pepper lent it to me, something about a vampire love
story that’s extremely popular - TONY - OH MY GOD GET IT OUT OF THE FURNACE - I
HAVE TO GIVE THAT BACK IT’S A SIGNED COPY!”
